I love the look of it, but I was hoping to see something with the wings a bit more in a position to the center of the valkyrie. Not that this is a bad thing, but IMO, it does make it look a bit anorexic. I guess I can't really complain. It is the fashion. Still hella excited about the stream tonight, and the visuals to come. Great time to be a fan.

Sweet. Gonna wait to see the prototype before deciding between waiting for this or trying to find a YF-30 somewhere. Hopefully I end up liking the battroid mode on this a bit better than the YF. But they'll probably be about the same.

I just hope that it will have somehow more on the VF-1's wing backpack than the VF-25's. Storing the VF-1's is a lot better than the VF-25's.

That's my #1 complaint about valk designs the past decade---the wings no longer transform/store anywhere---there's just a huge single-hinge backpack that is the entire upper fuselage with the wings attached. It was bad enough on the -25, but it's just horrendous on the -29. -27 has same problem with its "tail"---but at least the wings are double-hinged to fold in a bit, along with the engines.

Yeah, if they could fold more to make it compact, the better. Coz I don't think we will ever going to see another YF/VF-19 wing folding gimik to the thigh. More or less another VF-1 backpack on this new gen Valks.

Not surprised in the least, although the forward swept wings are a bit unexpected. I'm actually a little bit disappointed that it didn't end up looking more like the YF-30. I bet you this won't remain the main valk in the show, and there will be a new cutting edge valk introduced before the series end.

Agreed. I have a strong feeling about this too. Well im certainly hoping so anyways!

Next thing is how many episodes will be in the new series? 30 is a good round number..

I don't think these are forward swept wings. I think they are downward angled, which without any dept to go on with the art, make it look like it's forward swept.
